White
collar crime is crime in which the perpetrator deceives another person or
persons for financial gain or for some unfair advantage. The cost of white-collar
crime in the U.S. alone has been estimated to be at least $250 billion, and as
much as $1 trillion per year. Because of this huge cost, much time and energy are
dedicated to investigating this type of crime, and law enforcement personnel
are often aggressive in their methods to bring perpetrators to justice. This is
why, if you are facing charges of white-collar crime, you need to learn about
how a Florida white collar crimes lawyer can protect your rights.

Common White-Collar Crimes

White collar crimes are often the topic of media news. We’ve all heard stories of bribery, extortion, and fraud. All of these types of white-collar crime are common, and now that computers are almost everywhere, the area of cybercrime has become another concern. However, in the digital world, misunderstandings commonly occur due to misinterpretation of data, or even due to activity going on that business managers may be unaware of occurring in their offices. A white-collar crime lawyer can help you clear up this kind of misunderstanding, especially if you’ve been charged with a white-collar crime.

Penalties for White Collar Crimes

The
penalties for white collar crimes range from misdemeanor to felony charges.
They generally become steeper as the amounts of money involved in the crime
increase. Misdemeanor charges may involve up to a year in prison and $1000 in
fines. First degree felony charges can mean many years, or even life, in prison
as well as fines as high as $30,000.
